Kewl sells one - nice product. I believe it is made like their painted ones - two piece which aids in installation. Give Greg a call.

Another option is a chromed aluminum intake manifold. It is made by Lingenfelter, and can be purchased from West Coast Corvette, Advanced Plating, and Street and Performance. For just a little more money you can get the real deal!

They do look great don't they. That's the way I would go if I was prepared to spend that kind of money on one.

I've heard the aluminum intake manifolds suffer from heat soak, which is why the factory and Fast are some plastic composite thingees...

Very interesting, I'll have to check that out. I have one on order and I hope that I haven't overlooked something. I guess I figured if it was made by Lingenfelter, it must be good quality and performance.

Anybody else have any input on this?
